Extremity

A fabulous morning down on the beach at Stokksnes where for once the wind wasn't blowing a hoolie and the clouds weren't blocking the upper peaks of Vestrahorn Mountain, in fact you couldn't have asked for much more with the morning light playing ball lighting up all the detail in the rugged peaks. The light here, as with Iceland can be very very different to what we get in the UK with some very unsual colours at times, and cloud formations that just defy belief, at this time of year you're only looking at about 4+ hours of daylight per day, but in the those 4 hours it's like a permanant golden hour, if the clouds and rain/snow play ball it can be magical.

No matter how many times you come here it's pretty much guaranteed to be totally different each time, you never know what you will come away with, whether that might be a good soaking, a face full, and camera bag full of black sand that has been pelted at you at 80mph or more, the wind trying to rip the car doors off, or hopefully some decent images. Having experienced all of that here it was great to just be able to shoot for once! Although the other scenarios are certainly charachter building!
